GRRRRRRRR Part II

So I went to the doctor this morning. My somewhat yearly exam…

I was scheduled for 7:30 AM – I show up and no one is there in the reception area. In fact the place was dark. So I walk to the other bldg to see what’s up and get treated very rudely by the receptionist there – I wanted to inform her I worked for the same place she did but instead I just tersely said ‘thanks for your help’ and left to go back and ‘sit outside the lobby area on the bench out there until ‘someone’ shows up’ as the ever-so-helpful receptionist suggested.

So I wait – I called my love while waiting. Finally someone shows up and informs me that they don’t know why I was put on the schedule cause the doctor I was seeing – who come to think of it has never seen me early like that – does not show up for at least another ½ hour. So I was ‘roomed’ and my temp, B/P and vitals were taken, I was weighed and measured in height – so I am taller than I thought I was and I weigh LESS than I thought I did (YAY!).

I was asked to put on one of those embarrassing gowns and sat on the table waiting. My doctor came into the room around 8-ish and had me sit down across from her to talk instead of being on the cold table. I told her of being engaged – she was thrilled, so very happy for me – I love my doctor – we have become close over all these years – we began to discuss my health. She wants me to work out more – I WANT to as well – I NEED to do this. Overall she felt I was healthy but she probably wants to put me back on iron UGH! I HATE taking iron – it rips my stomach up something fierce. But I am probably anemic and I suppose that’s not good either…

I went to the lab to have blood drawn. I will wait now for the results.

Next stop was the car rental place – I am up to $400 in rental charges for this car…which means I am broke – so broke that I am considering becoming a ‘call girl’ for a week or two to make up the money. I mean this is killing me – I HAVE to get my car back.

I then ventured into work – it’s snowing like mad. Got to work and found out there were no parking spaces in my ASSIGNED parking lot so I had to park 3 block away and walk through the snow – which was the most beautiful part of the morning. Came in to find that my co-worker (Old lady-Eeyore) who was out sick last week and is constantly out sick is yet again out sick which means that all of her work falls on me……and this also means that when she gets back she’s going to be hellish to deal with….

What I have to look forward to is seeing Erin – I hear it’s a blizzard/white-out conditions outside so hopefully I will get home safely….I want to be out in the snow instead of here dealing with work. I need some down time from some of the stress I am dealing with – but I don’t see that coming anytime soon – so I will just try to remain calm and centered and hope that soon this will all pass….
